Publisher's Summary

This collection was published in 1901 and contains some of Lawson's best known stories.

Most of the stories are set in the Australian bush, and feature many of Lawson's iconic characters, like squatters, swagmen, and struggling selector farmers. A persistent theme is the harshness of rural life and the inevitability of personal tragedy.
